Hola hermana!

Hi Dana!

We haven't had a chance to have a good ol fashion talk in a while. I miss thos!

Thank you so much for sending your quotes and letters! I live for them! There is nothing better to end the day and read some letters.

So sense being here I have really learned a lot about life.

The biggest part is that being happy is a choice, I've always known that but knowing it and acting on it are two different monkeys.

Lots of cool stories to tell. One of my investigators from the referal center decided to get baptized! Cool huh?! Starting off my trip to Mexico right! I love her she is super funny and was just ready.

I am sending your family letters!

Its amazing how the spirit works here. For example while I was praying for my district then I knew that I had to tell each one of them that the problems that they have are not meant to stop the work. He gives problems to call our parts of ourself that are sleeping or if we do have them, then they are not as strong as they need to be. ( If that wasn't the case it wouldnt be a trial right?) He sends us problems to challenge us to become better. The spirit then told me to find a scirpture in Romans 8- (for the sufferings at this present moment are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be REVEALED IN us). It was a very special moment for me to have the spirit talk to me like that. It was amazing to be the answers to peoples prayers. The church is true!

Its hard to bear your testimony on que, or I guess prhase it, but here it goes.

It all comes back to the Savior. I know that the Savior lives and that He loves me and that he is my friend. All the hard things in life are hard because I have forgotten about that relationship. He wants me to be happy. I know that if we live worthy of the Holy Ghost then the Holy Ghost will guide us in ALL things that we need. I have a complete testimony of prayer that it works. I have never been let down once. I know that God does know who I am, and as long as I remember who I am then life is so much easier. Also when I remember who everyone else is in that light love becomes so much easier. When we see others thet way that Jesus sees them then it becomes a lot harder to hate them. I know that this church is the true church of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ does live and he guides the church through his prophet. The atonement of Jesus Christ is real, and that is the foundation of my life. No matter what happens in this life I know that Jesus loves me and knows what I am going through and I can repent and do better.

The church is true!

Love ya Dana!
